    • Hello Charlotte,
      We are currently still on summer vacation time. School starts for teachers in 2 weeks and 3 weeks for the kids.
      Independence Day is when we became independent of Great Britain (England).
      The city near us is called Charlotte, NC. It’s often called the Queen City. We live in Monroe a smaller town about 20 miles away.
